Arlington cops pisses self over dog barking and kills woman

[immortal13 4059]

I'm pretty sure a pit bull is a terrier

[crash_davis 23091]

he unloaded, poorly i might add, on an animal that at worst could nibble at his shin?  and props to the dog.  he was protecting her from an obvious threat, a horrible aiming, trigger happy cop.

[RollLeft 5040]

Fuck the cop, fuck the dog also.  What a shitty way for a human life to end.

[crash_davis 23091]

WAIT.  back the fuck up!

he had his gun drawn on a welfare check approaching on a woman lying on the side walk?????????????????????????????????????????

Well they said it’s a terrier.  Those can only get so big.  If a squirrel attacks you and you shoot it claiming it was a 75 pound squirrel—-then it wasn’t a fucking squirrel was it?   It was a lion.  

Terrier just means ground hunter. They were sized for what they hunted, so yes there are large terriers.

Yeah let’s start here. What the fuck was he so scared of? That’s why these fuckers shoot everything they see. A fart in the wind terrifies them. If you’re that scared, find another line of work

I honestly can’t tell...it was a terrier?   Even with some mutt in him and overdfed, that’s 20-25 pounds...tops!   And it’s biggest teeth could maybe pierce adult unclothed skin after 2-3 snaps/or a ten second grind?   

 Again if you can’t assess the myriad danger levels of different types and sizes and speeds of dogs ,   You certainly do not have the situational awareness required to assess human threat levels.   Every police force needs desk jockeys and meter maiDs, And this guy has that career advancement written all over him

What kind of a fucking asshole sees a woman shot and then demands answers from her?   And if one of you  apologists wants to say that he probably didn’t know he shot her ,   Hey then maybe that’s a good indicator you shouldn’t be firing your weapon .    If you don’t know precisely what else could be hit by one of your rounds don’t fire one.    Between these fucking All-Stars and a homicidal RoboCop ,  put me on team Peter Weller 

Oh no, the cop went to the old failsafe fall back... "It appeared to be a pit bull mix of some kind". Fucking bastards...all of them.

Lol... someday I'll have to tell you the story about the rabid attack squirrels that beseiged my home... not kidding either.

[housious 468]

Has a cop ever been killed by a dog? 

How about a postman? 

Maybe we shouldn’t be firing weapons in a neighborhood unless it’s, you know, a life or death situation.

The cop should sue the city due to PTSD, collect millions, go on disability and then be thankful he got home safely.

Not even a spiral staircase will keep you safe from rabid squirrels ... fuggers can climb up anything.

You do know that 99% of dogs will literally not bite you if you are facing them, right?

That 1% are trained protection dogs.

I got bit by a pitbull I was facing in January. If it wasn’t leashed and I didn’t successfully kick it off I really think he would’ve torn my leg off. The thing had a bear trap bite. 

If this dog was a pitbull, I don’t blame the officer for shooting one bit. I don’t care how “trained” you think your pitbull is, being a violent killer is in their blood. Anything can bring that out at any time. I do blame the cop for being a terrible shot, however. Should be fired.

If being a violent killer is in the blood of a pitbull, wouldn't it be in the blood of almost every other breed as well?

He also needs to be rehired for one day so he can retire with benefits.

[Guest Lobo]

So this cop and pit bulls have a lot in common then? 

Yeah, big lingering question is why was your weapon already drawn on a welfare check?

Report is a woman passed out in a residential area.  So your first instinct is unholster your weapon?  I'm sure it'll later be fabricated that there were reports of shots fired or a sexual assault nearby, so he was obviously clearing the area of any perps before checking on the woman up close.  Right?  I mean, we gotta get our stories straight here.

Our IT guy just sent out an email about a fake settlement site designed to try and get you to enter your personal data. The link in this thread appears to be the same link from his email.  He said the real site is an FTC site - https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/refunds/equifax-data-breach-settlement.  If so, half of surly just had their personal info stolen and someone should send a thank you note to the paper.

I’m pretty sure that I managed to translate most of that, but I have no clue what “Them nore” means

"Them nor"  - meaning the chick and her boyfriend.

Just as I expected, heated exchanges at the Arlington FD v. PD charity softball game.  

Some questionable balls and strikes were being called throughout the day and then this exchange...

Arlington Fire Captain:  "This is bullshit blue, you've been calling a wide strikezone for them all damn day.  Be fucking consistent!" 

Arlington Police Captain:  "Oh stop, you're just upset we killed your daughter!"  

[TwiceHorn 31396]

Surprised this fell out of the limelight so fast.  It's about as bad as any of the recent ones.

But, and this is a good contrast, this is one that will not catch a murder charge.

Because the intentional act of shooting was directed at the dog, not the ultimate victim, her death was caused by either the recklessness (manslaughter) or the criminal negligence (CNH) of the act of shooting at the dog with a human backstop.

Guessing he got word he was going to be fired and resigned to keep his pension?  Isn’t that how this works?

 

i also assume he will be working in a small suburb soon assuming he isn’t convicted with a felony 

[Pato del Muerto 52445]

5 years gets you a pension?

[NeverMarryAStripper 21815]

I’m assuming that if he were still employed that he could be required to cooperate to some extent with an investigation.

While I appreciate the conspiracy theories everyone loves to jump to in these instances, that’s not the case at all.
He’s been with the city for over 5 years, so he’s vested. Whether he’s terminated or resigns, that money is his. The only thing affected is his accrued sick time. He can sell it back to the city for a lump sum check paid out at separation. If he were terminated they don’t have to pay him for it.

Pontificating The granularity of myriad municipal pension vesting schedules qualifies as conspiracy theories to you?   You sound like a hoot at parties

5 years gets you vested, which means you get to keep all of the city’s contributions. If you separate before 5 years they take all of their contributions back.

Every city has a different pension system. Arlington uses the most common one in TMRS (Texas Municipal Retirement System).

 

 

So he’s going to go work for some other pd and have 2 pensions (at least) when he turns 60

[Guest Lobo]

This would probably be a good time to let you know I invest police pension money and I’m fucking great at it.  Most of them deserve the best returns.  

you know how there’s accident/unplanned babies?   And there’s IVF babies?  And surrogate babies?   You seem like a pre-cum baby.  It’s just ball busting sweetheart, I’m doing my part in the real world.  

[JimmyJames 12271]

I bet that dog was armed. Probably an illegal too. So justifiable homicide? 

[Guest Lobo]

Deleted.  I fear for my life.
